Our book examines the abuse crisis in the Catholic Church through institutional dynamics. Understanding those patterns is essential for reform. We’re grateful to everyone who has supported this project.

Dr. Colt Anderson invited me to be a part of this project when I was his student at Fordham. Loving people means having the courage to confront them about their shortcomings. This book does that with the church. I hope people will read it in that spirit. https://t.co/SiiXBcdSKv

Today's my 20th anniversary of working in the Catholic press. Such a gift. Just wanted to say thanks especially to @robdefran @DScottLA @MattMalone1776 @SSawyerSJ @mtreidy @Kerry_Weber @AshleyMcKinless and my past and present colleagues @AngelusNews @americamag @thecatholicsun

I spoke with 19 of the participants. My favorite quote was from a 10 year old. “It’s, like, from God. It’s what happened in real life. So this can help people understand what really happened. I wanted to participate because I love Jesus so much. So I wanted to do this for God.”

I brought a couple of my kids to the Via Crucis at Most Holy Trinity in Phoenix last night. I thought I'd share a few photos.

I attended one of the group's a practices earlier to write a story for Good Friday. Most of the participants are originally from all over Mexico—from Chiapas to Chihuahua. Immigrants bring beautiful traditions to the United States. (You can read more here) https://t.co/xlu6Z85otM

I couldn’t agree more @JDLongGarcia! The Annunciation should be a holy day of obligation. https://t.co/40lTGYgA1t

Pope Francis has done a lot in the last 11 years. Helping us have a different conversation about immigration is just one example. https://t.co/ucFBhT572K
